What is the rock called that existed before it is changed into a metamorphic rock?
The original rock that exists before it undergoes metamorphism is called a parent rock or protolith. This parent rock can be any type of rock, such as sedimentary, igneous, or another metamorphic rock, that is subjected to high temperature and pressure to form a metamorphic rock.
Rock that has changed from one type of rock to another type of rock is called?
It can be any type of rock. If heat and pressure deep in the Earth changed it, it is a metamorphic rock. If sediments of sand or other rocks compacted/cemented together, it's a sedimentary rock. If magma from a volcano cools, (on the outside of a volcano) it's an igneous rock.
In the rock cycle a rock that is changed by heat and pressure becomes a what?
A rock that is changed by heat and pressure becomes a metamorphic rock. This process usually occurs deep within the Earth's crust where temperature and pressure are high enough to alter the mineral composition and structure of the rock. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and gneiss.
What rock can be changed directly into with the application of heat and pressure?
Sedimentary rock can be changed into metamorphic rock through the application of heat and pressure. This process typically occurs deep within the Earth's crust, where existing rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures that cause them to recrystallize and form new minerals.
How can a igneous rock change into a metaphoric rock?
An igneous rock can change into a metamorphic rock through the process of metamorphism, which involves heat and pressure altering the mineral composition and texture of the rock. This can occur deep within the Earth's crust where high temperatures and pressures are present, causing the minerals in the igneous rock to recrystallize and form a new metamorphic rock.
What is the nickname of Metamorphic?
The nickname for metamorphic rock is "a changed rock".
How has wave rock changed over the years?

How is the original rock material changed to igneous rock?

What kind of rock can changed into metamorphic rock?
Any rock, be it igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic, can be changed into a metamorphic rock through increased pressure and/or temperature.
Why was Saint Peter's name changed?

Scientists use rock cycle to describe what process?
The rock cycle is how one type of rock can be changed into another type of rock.

What are 3 things that cause sedimentary rock to change to metamorphic rock?
Sedimentary rock is changed to metamorphic rock using: 1. High pressure 2. High heat 3. A large amount of time
Which rock means 'changed'?
